Share your story of Genetic Testing

Hi!

My name is Silvia , I'm 28 years old and I was diagnosed with breast cancer HER2+ stage 2 grade 3 Ki67 30% in March 2022.

I'm now under treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and my surgery will schedule in October 2022.

I was diagnosed with ATM gene mutation.

Before the genetic test result with my oncologist and surgeon we talked about lumpectomy and radiation, but now due to the genetic results, they suggested to going through certainly unilateral mastectomy (right breast) and to thinking about bilateral prophylactic mastectomy.

I'd like to know is there someone else with breast cancer with mutated ATM that has chosen lumpectomy+radiotherapy, unilateral mastectomy or bilateral prophylactic mastectomy? What did you choose and what did they recommended?

Therefore I wanna know what kind of follow up they proposedto you? Ultrasound or MRI? Every six months or once a year?

I need some advices and sharing information for a better choice.

Thanks so much

Silvia
